(Sedgwick County, Kan.) – Sedgwick County is pleased to collaborate with the City of Wichita to have received an objective, unbiased analysis of the Brookhollow Apartment incident in October 2023 from the qualified and credible consultant, Jensen Hughes. The unexpected loss of life deserved a thorough, objective and complete investigation. The family of Paoly Bedeski, Brookhollow residents, community and public safety agency employees deserved an unbiased understanding of what occurred. Like the public, Sedgwick County Leadership just received and heard this report for the first time from Jensen Hughes this morning and needs time to review, reflect and deliberate toward next steps. Since the incident, Sedgwick County Emergency Communications has continued to work intentionally with other first responder agencies to ensure that together, we are supporting emergency operations in the field to achieve optimal outcomes. To see the full report, PowerPoint presentation from Jensen Hughes and the presentation to the Board of County Commissioners during a Special Meeting on Dec. 16, 2024, please visit www.sedgwickcounty.org. |
